Does everyone know about the Grateful Med and Lonesome Doc  program?  If you
do not have access to a local medical library, you may be interested in this
service of the National Institutes of Health, which allows you to access the
data base of the National Library of Medicine.  I heard about it from an MD
who spoke at a LLL conference a few years ago.  This program runs on a
personal computer, and is very simple (even I was able to figure out how it
is done!)   Once your search is complete, you can use the Lonesome Doc
feature to order documents from the nearest participating medical library,
and they will be delivered to your home or office by mail or fax.  I do not
benefit in this in any way, so I hope it is OK to pass along the phone number
for obtaining more information: 1-800-638-8480.
